ATTN: Joe Lucia - D310 Revisited

[Rick A.]

Joe,

Finally was able to track Don Baker down and talk with him.

Seems about two years ago, John DeGregory convinced Don to restore an "1111022" distributor for a project John was working on. In all of Don's research he happened upon a gentleman who used to work for Delco-Remy in the distributor accessories (and still works but is now Delphi). Anywho, Don and John spoke with this gentleman, and he showed them a blueprint dated June 1962, that showed "exploded" views of the "1111022" and the "D310" from numerous angles. He would not allow them to make a copy because of all the lawsuits, etc. that have occurred in the last couple of years.

Don has continued to restore "1111022" and has restored around 115 in the last 2 years, and all of them with "D310 caps", with the words "DELCO-REMY" and "PATENT PENDING"

Joe,

Sorry it took so long to get the information - I missed Don at Carlisle and Hershey and then I was on vacation and business travel for almost a month - but, finally talked with Don for almost 30 minutes today

Amazing volume

I don't know Don, but I'm extremely impressed with the volume of 022 FI distributors he's rebuilt. That's turning out an average of one 022 a week over the last two years if I understand you correctly.

I had no idea there were that many '63 FI cars under construction. I think I need to get out more.
